Chase the Dragon by Chris Walter

Through no real fault of his own, Dragon draws the unwanted attention of several very nasty people in Vancouver’s drug saturated Downtown Eastside. Fearing for his life, the hopeless drug addict flees town on a Greyhound bus, terrified of the people chasing him and nervous about trying to survive elsewhere. To further complicate matters, his erratic behaviour prompts the driver to throw him and a fellow passenger off the bus almost two thousand miles from home. Stuck in a hostile city surrounded by strangers who would rather beat him up than give him the time of day, Dragon can only wait anxiously for the trouble he left behind to catch up. When it does, all hell is sure to break loose.
